Pedro the Musicman, Musician and Storyteller


                                                   Pedro leading the Vuvuzela Orchestra
                                                           Africa Day in Johannesburg

Music is my life and I use workshops and stories to introduce children and adults to the magic world of music, in particular the making and playing of instruments that were created by humans some 80 000 years ago in Southern Africa using dry kelp, Paw paw leaves, wood, stones and whatever they had at hand. Last year I was making music with Vuvuzelas, hard to believe...

I have been making music and telling stories for many many years now in English, French and Spanish  with audiences all over the world.
I have worked in schools, Teachers Centres, Universities and Festivals and I look forward to telling stories somewhere near you.
